What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the soft clop of hooves on stone — not loud, just steady. Our driver, Khalid, wore this faded cap and kept glancing back to check if we were comfortable. He grinned when my friend tried to pronounce “Bab Doukkala” (she got it wrong, but he just laughed). The air smelled like oranges and dust. I didn’t expect to feel so far from home just by riding in a horse-drawn carriage through Marrakech.

We passed under those huge 12th-century ramparts — honestly, they’re massive up close. Khalid pointed out different city gates (he called them “babs”) and told us little stories about each one. Something about how every gate has its own personality? I kind of liked that idea. The sun hit everything sideways and made the colors look even deeper — reds, blues, that weird green you only see on old doors here.

I kept thinking about how quiet it felt compared to the chaos of the Medina. Then suddenly we stopped at Majorelle Garden. Blue everywhere — not just any blue but that electric shade you can’t describe unless you’ve seen it. Inside, there was this faint smell of wet earth and jasmine, and people were whispering instead of talking out loud. I took too many photos of cacti (couldn’t help it). We wandered for a while before heading back to the carriage; the ride felt slower after that. Maybe I didn’t want it to end yet.
